How great that you can carve out a little private work space for your own! Please post some Before pics! OK, color. I like green the best, but I think I'll vote for the yellow, since you've only got one window and you'll want the room to be as bright as possible. If you love yellow, go with it. For flooring, I'd go with a remnant of sheet vinyl (she said while ducking her head to avoid the incoming slaps of vinyl-haters) since it's a project room and you'll want something easy-to-clean. It's also the softest for your feet (unless you get a super-flat carpet) and can also lighten the place up if you get a light and bright color. For the curtain, I'd hang it on the OTHER side of the heat duct. That way, you'll get a tiny bit more floor space on your side and you'll get a little more radiated heat from the duct, too. Since there's very little head room below it, you could get some inexpensive shelves to sit right below it. And if it's the standard metal duct, you can use it as a bulletin board kind of space to tape up pattern pieces, inspiration pics, and so forth. Have fun! I can't wait to see your new girly den!

Hi! Here is a pic of what we were thinking with regards to the desk. We could go white or black with the desk. If we went with a black printer stand, should the desk be black as well? white printer stand, white desk? I have white curtains, white chairs, was planning on white desk, how should the mix be if I choose a black printer stand? I will have 1 other piece in this room, It is an oak bookcase. I can change it later if I choose to, but right now it is oak. valinsv - what type of black lacquer piece do you think would look good? Elaine

Ohh fun I'll check out the new island :) I love to see people's kitchens evolve. Thank you for the compliment on mine. I miss that darned kitchen LOL (We don't have one at the victorian). The old sewing room never got further than putting my fabric in it. DS suprised us (how did that happen) when he made himself known (thought I had food poisoning LOL) and my room became his :) I designed the room but because I broke my arm quite badly during the remodel doing venetian plaster, I had to hire it out to be done. I was really lucky because the artists I hired completely took to the vision I had and then embelished it and made it their own. They had become attached to my little guy durin the time they worked for us (did all of our textured walls in the townhouse) and added a lot of fun suprises while we were on a long hospital stay. He still misses that room....I have GOT to get one going here (it's going to be an alaska train room theme). I do have some freaking windows don't I LOL Definately a good opportunity to use collected fabrics heh heh It sounds like your sewing room looks like mine now. There is a reason I couldn't post pics of the window side LOL Boxes and couches...three of them stuffed in there to go to charity as well as several tables and antique sewing machines. It will be fun to see yours come together as I work on mine...want to race LOL I love the ironing board idea! I'll add one because I'd agree I like that too when I'm quilting. When I crazy quilt I absolutely need to iron each piece down before adding another. Otherwise you get odd puckers...much more so than with a normal quilt. I do have a 9' dining table and figure for the drapes I'll cut on there...but in the sewing room I want to do about a six by six foot table (two from ikea butted together like in the link on the other thread). I love the idea of it being for ironing and cutting but still...I don't want to get up for every piece. I have a cordless iron to help with that, so the location near the machines would be easy. DS getting up from nap...shall return!

On one side, you could have one of these cheap-o round tables, which you then have a table cloth made for out of your choice of fabric. Put a glass top on itâ¦voila. This option would also help in limiting the different woods and wood tones in the room, as well as giving the room another way of adding color or other design.
